2017 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CE17 LCY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes without defects. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 March 2026 at 31,602 miles resulted in no recorded faults, mirroring the results of the previous four annual tests. This stability suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered recurring mechanical or structural failures during the MOT testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between March 2022 (19,399 miles) and March 2023 (21,755 miles), the car covered only 2,356 miles, indicating very light annual use. The most recent interval saw a slight increase in usage with 6,367 miles covered in the last year. While low mileage typically implies less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it also introduces risks related to age-related material degradation and potential periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults, a physical inspection should focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. You must check the condition of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, split hoses, and tyre adverts, which can crack and perish over time regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit stationary for long periods often develop binding calipers. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
